Surprise session on the old 7.0 and Techno.

The Sunday wind report was looking overcast and sketchy. When it did build a little, I decided to head out and only take the 7.0 and Techno as my "big" gear. If there wasn't 15 knots, I wasn't going to sail. (I need 11-15 knots to use the 9.0 and my Ray 122).

I rigged and was surprised to get going on the 7.0. I windsurfed over and downwind to where family from Holland were having a shore lunch. On my way back my buddy Scott came by and shot some GoPro footage from his Seadoo. I'm looking forward to seeing that!

Here are the GPS trails. I like how the GPS results software shows speed with different colours!

Overall 28 km in 1 hour and 45 minutes. Max speed was low at 41.7 km/h. I hadn't sailed the Techno in almost 12 months, and it was really fun and easy to use again, especially with the lighter 7.0m sail.

GPS Results show the speeds

Same track results in google earth

Vanessa came out for a few runs after I was done!

I did slog another 1 km after rigging the 6.2 on the freewave but the wind was gone by then. I'm glad Vanessa got a few runs on the 7.0!
